salans7 Posted April 5, 2020 Share Posted April 5, 2020 Welcome, Shaun. And thanks for the documents you've supplied. I'm slowly getting all of them on. I believe these were the last two of what I sent you? If so, you completed a huge chunk of what was missing from the literature section, I think the 1980 section was the least complete of all the years.

I think I have the 1980 Accessories catalog and the '95 and '96 F-Series brochures left. Thinking of placing the later brochures in Other Publications. Yes?

Gary Lewis Posted April 6, 2020 Author Share Posted April 6, 2020 Gotta save something for tomorrow. Well, today was not the day for the later brochures. It was the day for the 1985 cross-reference catalog. The thing that lets you find the ID # that is on most parts and determine the part number. But, it is 1060 pages long and took awhile to pull each of those pages out w/o ripping them, and then scan them. I got that done, and I scanned into several files. But the total file size is ~1.6Gb. I'm OCR'ing the files now, but that's a bit slow, running about 30 seconds per page. You might ask why, and it might have to do with there being 630 part numbers and ID numbers on each page. Tomorrow I'll have to see how to organize things into manageable file sizes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
85lebaront2 Posted April 6, 2020 Share Posted April 6, 2020 Thanks to Shaun, we have an '86 Owner Guide on the site now, and an '80 waiting to be scanned. And, it is in the Literature spreadsheet. Thanks, Shaun! Gee, that looks familiar. I have a 1990 and a 1996 if you want to at some point add them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gary Lewis Posted April 7, 2020 Author Share Posted April 7, 2020 Gee, that looks familiar. I have a 1990 and a 1996 if you want to at some point add them. I can add them if you want to scan them - 300 dpi please. Or, send them to me and I'll scan them. But, if the '96 is an F-Series brochure Shaun sent me one of those.

I think he's referring to owner's guides as the post he is replying to is the one you made regarding the owner's manuals, hence the "That looks familiar" since I sent you an 86 manual and Bill's truck is an 86.

Ahhh! That makes sense. But owner's guides are problematic. Ford did them two different ways - long sheets of paper stapled in the middle, and narrow sheets of paper glued on the edge. I've given up scanning long sheets of paper since they have 4 different pages on them and it is a mess getting them sorted and cropped. So, please don't send something that you don't want me to cut up in order to scan it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
